67% children Anaemic: ICAR develops 203 nutrient-rich crop varieties

Addressing widespread anemia and malnutrition, Indian agricultural scientists have developed 203 biofortified crop varieties. These nutrient-rich staples, including iron-rich rice and protein-rich wheat, aim to combat deficiencies like “hidden hunger” without altering dietary habits. This initiative, supported by the SEHAT mission, offers a sustainable, low-cost approach to improving public health through everyday food.
